Well it's more of an anthropological book review, but yes, unique topic.

=D Can I marry you? Lawl.

But seriously. Best paper ever. Are you focusing entirely on Gondor, or does Rohan feature in there anywhere? Because I've heard the argument that Rohan was kind of wish-fulfillment regarding some battle where the English got slaughtered by the French because they had horses or something but either way it was a way more interesting allusion than the standard "OMG TEH RING IS TEH A-BOMB AND SAURON ARE HITLARRR" one that I usually hear.

It's been too long since I read LotR. I'm tempted to make that another winter break project, but I already have a lot planned for doing.

Sure, when's the wedding? (what book if I may ask?)

Well, it's mostly focusing on Gondor as allegory for Rome, but central to that are the other parties. The Rohrrim are the Germanic tribes like the Goths, the Hobbits are the English tribes (and along that, the Elves Welsh and the Dwarves Norse). Osgiliath, as the great capital that has since fallen, is Rome while Minas Tirith, the new capital to the east, is Constantinople. They're menaced by forces from the East that alternatively represent the Huns or the Turks.

The course is about castles and stuff, so I'm TRYING to stay at least centered on that. Gondor--the Romans--are the only ones who really build fortresses and cities from stone. Castles = civilization in a way; everybody else is a barbarian. Hell, with the exception of Barad-dur, all of the castles controlled by the evil forces have been stolen from their rightful Numenorean builders (Orthanc and Minas Morgul, that is)

It should be interesting. We'll see how it goes :P

"Laughter Out of Place: Race, Class, Violence, and Sexuality in a Rio Shantytown." It's by Donna Goldstein and it's about the black humor that serves as a coping mechanism for the severely impoverished Brazilian working class while simultaneously perpetuating class rifts based on a perception of appropriate and inappropriate humor.

. . . I may have my thesis now. =D =D =D

Can I read this paper when it's done? It sounds really interesting and I've been missing LotR recently. =3

haha! Glad I could help :P sounds cool~

And sure. It's supposed to be a proposal for a larger (nonexistant) project more than a paper, though.
